The 2nd rdbt on the approach to Hitchin - go first left - looks like a massive main road, so I got confused. It's a short stretch to the next rdbt where you go left again.
After Pirton (which you go through in a straight line, ignoring weird road markings), go left at the bottom of the hill onto Shillington Rd, but then you can do the next left, sort of 3/4 back onto yourself. Right at Hexton Rd, then next left up Gravel Hill. Alternatively, try to take the planned route to Higham Gobian, and then left there (the version I failed to navigate properly).
Good luck. The outward route is nice till Codicote, then a fast B-road to Hitchin which you can just bomb along, and then it gets nicer again.
